Jesus is Coming

6John was clothed with camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

7He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.

8I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit.”

9In those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

11A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

16Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

17Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men.”

18Immediately they left their nets, and followed him.

19Going on a little further from there, he saw James the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

20Immediately he called them, and they left their father, Zebedee, in the boat with the hired servants, and went after him.
